Parker once more for the Londoners. Lars Jacobsen in space. Wrong option and Baptiste will clean up.

Parker again. Hefty challenge from Adam. Fair play says ref Atwell. Good job too. That was in the box!
10'
West Ham skipper Scott Parker to Wayne Bridge. Great pace from Obinna, but not even he's that fast to collect that one!!
9'
Carney for Blackpool now. Taylor-Fletcher and D J Campbell link up well. Looks for Reid! Gets in the cross but no one in the box to benefit!
8'
Charlie Adam. Great pass but there's Green to make a comfortable catch.
7'
Andy Reid has seen a lot of the ball already tonight. New boy Keane almost finds Frederic Piquionne with that pass. Not quite on the same wavelength yet.

Long ball. Poor clearance by Alex Baptiste.. VICTOR OBINNA!! Great stop by Kingson at full stretch!! So close for the Hammers!!
3'
Foul by Luke Varney on Hammers keeper Rob Green.
3'
Blackpool again. That's too high for Gary Taylor-Fletcher. Keane for West ham. No way through.
2'
And Andy Reid wins a corner! He's taken over the duty from Adam and that's poor. Hits the first defender!
1'
So the teams change ends and it's Blackpool who get us underway!

And here come the teams! All eyes on Charlie Adam tonight. How will he react to missing out on his big move?
19:55
So we're rapidly approaching the whistle. Can Blackpool's Richard KIngson celebrate his call up for Ghana with a clean sheet?
19:43

As we approach kick off time, there'll be some anxious eyes turned to the Reebok where Bolton take on Wolves.

And what does Robbie Keane think about joining the Hammers?

So can Andy Reid do the business for Blackpool?
19:27
Meanwhile, as expected, Grant hands Keane his debut for West Ham, Gary O'Neil also starts, with Demba Ba on the bench.
19:26
So Ian Holloway puts Andy Reid straight into the Blackpool starting XI, but new signings James Beattie and Jason Puncheon begin on the bench - as does former Hammer Marlon Harewood. David Carney also starts after returning from international duty in place of Ian Evatt.
